While innovative essays on film and painting will beconsidered, preference will be given to essays that addresslesser-studied forms of visual culture. Essays may be theoretically orpractically oriented and should be readable by an audience of bothexperienced and novice teacher-scholars. Ideally, essays will addresspedagogical issues and approaches that subvert the traditional privilegegiven to verbal over visual cultural forms. Especially encouraged areproposals that consider how literary and visual culture can be analyzedconjointly to result in a more nuanced understanding and appreciation ofboth cultural forms as well as of the social and political conditions inwhich both are produced or consumed. Essays that consider culturalproduction of any period and geographical location are welcome.
